Putting church above bible is crazy 😂
There are “extraordinary” means for extraordinary circumstances. In fairness to the RCC they have addressed that.
Both very gentlemanly and polite BUT the level of ignorance with these two is unbelievable. Gavin says the strength of Protestantism is that we are all the true church… even though we all disagree. He also says we are ok if we believe in the “core doctrines” errrrrr “core” according to which of the 9000 sects of Protestantism?
Protestants happily cherry pick the Nicene Creed but ignore the rules set forward for the Church within the same council … I mean are ya’ll serious?
God is pleased with you brothers. Im a devout Catholic and I sense a lot of Love from your conversations. May God continue to bless you and your mission.
Ephesians 4:29 "Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
Hey Ruslan, the description area doesn't provide any info on your guest. There's also no info block thing in his presentation. If we miss or forget the mentioning of his name, we're in the dark. Just thought you'd like to know how we miss what was said while searching for who said it.
About the communion, Protestants believe the bread and whine is the body and blood of Jesus? And it truly is the body and blood of Christ as Jesus thought himself in John chapter 6. As Catholics we believe in transubstantiation and only the Priest has the authority to do this. A Protestant pastor wouldn’t have the authority because they don’t have apostolic succession
At what point in the parable of the prodigal son did the prodigal son get "saved"?
Whilst I am a continuationist I think many claims of gifts by numerous Christians are very doubtful.
Wait what? How do preterists take away Christian hope? All they deny is a great tribulation at the end basically. How does that deprive people of hope? They still believe in Heaven
Are u saved if u believe in the prosperity gospel?
Short answer: Yes 💯
Yes
I agree with a lot of what you say. But, in my experience. most of the conservative protestants I hear. say that Catholics are not christian. I, of course, believe Catholics are Christian. And yes, many traditional Catholics do say they are the one true church
Thanks, good video.
I take no issue with two Protestants talking about their tradition. But when Protestants who have zero or near zero experience of Orthodoxy and what the 2,000 years of theology and tradition actually mean then some frustration kicks in. I get it. I was a Protestant once. It’s kind of in their DNA to judge everyone else’s theology and try to pop holes all in it which eventually get used for their own justifications as to why a church tradition that started 1500 years after Christ is somehow more correct than the tradition that was started by the actual Lord and his chosen men whom he instructed and sent out into the world to proclaim the proper faith. Maybe one day shows like this will stop assuming they know anything about Orthodoxy which they’ve never or barely experienced at best and just stick to having a pleasant conversation about their own faith. It can be done because about 99% of all Orthodox conversation is about Orthodoxy and not everyone else.
12:55 salvation is theosis. It is purification by baptism, illumination through the seal of Chrismation and union with Christ through partaking of the Divine Mysteries of the Church. Protestant definitions are missing the ecclesial aspect of salvation through the sacramental life.
I grew up Baptist and was taught that catholicism is a cult. I didn't even know orthodox Christianity existed. When protestant missionaries visited our churches they would tell us 90% of the population they are trying to reach are non believers, but most of these places are 90% catholic or orthodox. You saying protestants believe catholics are saved feels like a minority view.
I thank God for this interview. So much what NEEDED to be said got some light here. There's so much anxiety that's going around salvation and shedding light through the illustrations can bring peace to those who just aren't sure anymore. Let the peace of God prevail
easy … the answer is YES
So is there one Christian faith or are there more?
Ephesians 4:5 anyone?
You mean to tell me that churches, established over 1500 years after the apostles and Christ, have it all figured out?? 😂😂😂😂
High fives all around, good conversation gents!
Good stuff Ruslan.
I would advise anyone who doesn't feel assured of their salvation to take time away from listening to what other people have to say so that they can hear what God has to say. It's between you and God and no one else.
There are a number of sects that seem to have preterest view Methodists, Reformed etc.
I think what many Catholics miss is they don’t realize to the extent that Protestantism influenced the Catholic Church through the counter-reformation and other means. There were serious problems in the Catholic Church that did end of changing thanks to the reformers. The laiety weren’t given the elements in both kinds even though Catholics avow now how important it is to take the Eucharist in both kinds to receive grace. They talk about Protestants not having qualifications to teach meanwhile many priests couldn’t even cite the 10 commandments. For many people their faith was just mercenary, ie I buy these indulgences, candles and relics and I’ll be safer and protected from evil. The 5 solas were supposed to be guardrails for some of the abuses that were happening in the church.
Thanks for this.
As a Catholic, I'm very glad you accept the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. However, I have to agree with the Catholic and Orthodox take that you unfortunately have never participated in the Eucharist. It's not a matter of feelings, apostolic succession is biblical, not everyone can perform transubstantiation. If you were a far away tribe with no contact, then I suppose you would be excused from not receiving the Eucharist until you found your way to one of the apostolic churches. Please read the bible about apostolic succession, not everyone has the same ability to do everything.
Orthodox viewer here. I haven't finished the episode yet but I feel like a big factor in the conversation of if one is saved may be a difference in view of what salvation IS in the Eastern view compared to a Western Protestant view. I can certainly be corrected because I was never Protestant before joining the Orthodox Church, (I just ordered Gavin's book to get a better concept of Protestantism) but it seems in the East the concept of salvation is based more on healing instead of a "you're in, you're out" thing? I feel like that may be some of the disconnect
Edit: I'm surprised it didn't come up but both Catholics and Orthodox express a solid following of Tradition in terms like "big T" and "little T" All the examples given in the discussion about tradition, we would consider little T traditions that are doctrinal, vestment style, liturgical customs, etc. I think we would say the difference between the things that come out now is the difference between contemporary and timeless. Contemporary things do have the potential to be timeless and over the years things like that have worked their way into the Liturgy. the majority of Orthodox hymns were written in the 7th and 8th centuries.
No. Caths have been wrong since the beginning
In regards to the title I believe yes but I also believe that there will be people who will be saved and damned in every trinitarian denomination and even in completely different religions but it will be so slim it's almost none. These of coarse are people that by no fault of their own hadn't heard the gospel but lived relatively righteous.
Hello, I did not see the Free PDF of The Bless God Prayer Journal listed in your information box. Is it no longer available, please and thank you?
This convo 🔥
20:10 spot on. You want to be obedient not out of fear of hell, but because you are greatful to God your father.
TRUTH UNITED IS COLD 🧊 ❄️ ⛸️
The way catholicism defines justification reminds me of how carpentry and graphic design uses the word, which means to align one thing with another. So justification is a process after the initial justification by faith. Which to me isn't that controversial.
Just the action of trying to find the point of losing salvation is a very disturbing. Why? I don’t want to barely get to heaven and risk being wrong about theology, boiled down, it’s about having the love of Jesus Christ in your heart. Love covers a multitude of sin.
yes
There's no specific or exclusive visual style or music genre for worshipping God, but there is a widespread use of imagery and music for marketing a church and creating a consumer experience rather than using it for exalting Christ and feeding the flock.
Dr Gavin is 👌🏻
Thank you Ruslan foe bringing in Dr Gavin
So glad to have this collaboration 🕊️
Why is your argument ALWAYS about “well my son is always my son here because I’m always his father.” BUT, when you TURN away from God even AFTER being saved, and die in that sin even IF you were at one time “saved”, God will say “Depart from me, I NEVER knew you.” This is the problem I have with Protestants and I’ve grown up as a Protestant my entire life. Once saved is NOT always saved. That’s how “I” feel. You also have to have a personal relationship with God and walk in faith ALWAYS. Jesus says the path to righteousness is NARROW for a reason. In Matthew 7:13–14, Jesus said, "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
@Ruslan buddy this is the issue. If scripture is the final authority then what happens when 10 people have ten interpretations of scripture? Does it make sense that Jesus would leave it to whoever reads and interprets is right? You guys just don't like authority. Who is your authority?
@ruslankd praying for you to keep seeking the full truth!
What is often missing in these conversations is the always already nature of Christ. It’s there in the story of the prodigal son but so often missed because of our fundamental commitment to separation. We are already sons! Let’s own it.
7:16 you should look into the people who believe in the "Little season" escapology. They believe Jesus already came back and we're living in the great deception of Satan now before the final judgment.
To answer the title question….YES
We have to wait until March for Gavin's book to be released in Australia in hard copy. Audible is available, maybe kindle.
